The hats, scarves, and gloves to keep them warm and cozy during Chicago winters. When I see my students arrive to school, their little faces and hands are so cold and red because they are exposed to the harsh weather as they travel to school. I have also requested deodorants for the students because many of them feel self-conscious about how they smell, specifically after gym class. Last, I have a growing number of students who have acne and do not have the appropriate products to help clean and soothe their skin. Some of the students have made matters worse for their skin by constantly scratching their faces. The items my students need will definitely be used and appreciated. Thank you in advance for any donations you make to our project!
